Quote from: Now_I_Know on July 21, 2007, 04:25:29 AMHillary Clinton Promises to End Federal Raids on Medical Marijuana DispensariesPosted in Chronicle Blog by Scott Morgan on Wed, 07/18/2007 - 8:13pmHillary Clinton continues to get the drug policy questions right:During a visit to Manchester, New Hampshire on July 13, Len Epstein of Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana told the senator and presidential candidate: "Twelve states allow medical marijuana, but the Bush administrations continues to raid patients."Clinton replied: "Yes, I know. It's terrible.""Would you stop the federal raids?" Epstein asked."Yes, I will," she responded firmly. [MPP]As I've said before, it's exciting to hear the democratic front-runner taking the right positions on our issues. Clinton has now pledged to fight racial profiling, reform the crack/powder sentencing disparity, promote treatment instead of incarceration, and now vows to end the federal war on medical marijuana patients and providers. That's a rock solid drug policy platform for a mainstream candidate.Yes, I know there are long-shot candidates willing to go further (what's his name, Ron something?). But the willingness of front-runners – on the left, at least – to take common sense positions on drug policy reflects a growing awareness that reform is not political suicide.aaaah, the shit.-T
